Productivity and profitability of black rice as affected by transplanting methods and crop geometry.

ABSTRACT: Black rice is a highly nutritious cereal that has been introduced to Nepal recently. Due to its late introduction, only a few agronomic research have been conducted so far. Hence, farmers are not aware about the appropriate transplanting methods and cropping geometry for profitable black rice cultivation. To fulfill the research gap and to establish a basic benchmark for further studies, the research focuses on responses of two black rice genotypes at different transplanting methods and cropping geometry. The profitability analysis with respect to transplanting methods and cropping geometry revealed, transplanting 21 days old seedlings with any geometrical pattern would yield and profit more as compared to SRI. Similarly, farmers can get a highest net revenue of 9379.3 $ at the B/C ratio o
